Nest Mates
Different Wings, but one Family Tree
Oh Canary
So Young and Brave
When we came home
To the Cage
You Welcomed me with open arms
And Open Wings
A Voice so Splendid
Did You sing
Though I don't have feathers
Since my scales grew in
My wings of leather
Gusted clouds within
My heat and passion
You admire
My voice
It roars
Like a raging Fire
The home I thought
Was once a cage
We've all grown differently
And Come of Age
Mom and Dad
Are all so glad
Of the Success
From mistakes we made
I'm still haunted
From the times I hurt You
Yet You love me
And hold me dear
We fight for each other
Whether we're far or near
Our hearts connected
Know when the other's in pain
We've matured and grown
In more than just our brains
Though m cerebral cortex
At times is a vortex
Often lost in thought
More oft' than nought
Yet, You remind me of our
Past we lived
And the pain to me
That You also gived
With talons so sharp,
I grew my hide
From false songs
You made me hide
Your pecking beak
Wasn't always kind
Yet, we apologize
To each other
And become wise
Yet, all the hurt
still comes and goes
But we don't gift pain
As we're not our foes
Cry on my shoulder
Catch me in my woes
As we nestle in the nest
We respect how much we've grown
So when I roar
You too do sing
Whether from home
We come or go
In each other's hearts we remain
Wherever
Whenever
We take wing

Lots of emotion in this. Kids can be so cruel to each other. That you still love each other as adults is the important stuff. This is a wonderful piece. I particularly liked these lines. "The home I thought Was once a cage We've all grown differently And Come of Age Mom and Dad Are all so glad Of the Success From mistakes we made."
This is like a sequel to your poem, "Broken Songbird". So glad you guys managed to talk it out 🥰
